The sentence used doesn't refer to rain but refers to "water falling from the sky".
"Water falling from the sky" includes a wide range of possibilities like "comets loaded with ice" and "just rain".
To identify the possibility meant, you trace the "context"; the context would tell you which of the "possibilities" is truly meant.
So it could mean either comets or rain. Imma go with 'rain'.
